Hi Amanda
Perhaps you could try to do some type of volunteer work for an environmental organisation?
This would help you gain some hand’s on experience (and you would be able to learn a lot from others on the best ways to maybe gain employment there eventually, as well as what areas of work you’d suit the most) I don’t know what places you could try in Canada but WWF (World Wide Fund for nature) and Greenpeace would most likely be there? Best wishes with everything! 🙂

Hi Rebecca,

I’m in a similar position as Amanda, and you it sounds like. It’s great to know that there are others out there that struggle with the same dilemmas (im in Los Angeles). I would love to connect directly (this is my first day on tinybuddha and am unsure if this site offers direct messaging). I have some ideas/advice I would love to chat with you about. You can email me at ninasayers@gmail.com if you wanna take a leap of faith! 🙂
